This is Addendum No. 1, issued August 14, 2026, by the Maryland Department of General Services for Project CC-623-250-001, the BCCC Nursing Building Renovation and Addition. The addendum clarifies and modifies the original Request for Technical Proposals (RFTP) for architectural and engineering design services. A pre-proposal meeting was held on August 13, 2026, with meeting minutes and sign-in sheets included as attachments. The deadline for written questions is August 19, 2026, at 3:00 P.M. local time, and proposals are due September 3, 2026, at 3:00 P.M. local time. The project encompasses complete renovation of the existing 1977-constructed Nursing Building (approximately 36,668 gross square feet) and an addition of approximately 7,474 gross square feet to accommodate nursing program growth from 169 to 320 students by 2029, along with new radiology technology and occupational therapy programs. Design deliverables must achieve LEED Silver certification, operate as all-electric except for backup generator, comply with ADA and building code standards, and include modernized simulation labs, classrooms, and support areas. The anticipated contract term is 86 months, comprising 20 months for design, 8 months for review, 4 months for bidding, 6 months for approvals, 24 months for construction, and 24 months for warranty.

The solicitation requires 25% overall Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation with subgoals of 7% African American and 10% women participation, plus 5% Veteran Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation. Offerors must be registered with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation and maintain Maryland resident representation at time of award. Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability of $2 million per occurrence/$5 million annual aggregate, Professional Liability of $2 million per claim/$3 million annual aggregate, and Worker's Compensation of $1 million per occurrence. The existing building contains significant hazardous materials, including asbestos-containing floor tiles (approximately 3,875 square feet), ceiling plaster (2,524 square feet), lead-based paint, and mercury-containing fluorescent fixtures, all requiring removal by a licensed Maryland abatement contractor prior to renovation. This addendum revises Section 5.3(F)(6)(d) of the RFTP to extend the maximum length of required objective statements from three to four single-spaced, typewritten pages.
